In many data repositories, e.g. Polish RepOD, users are encouraged to use controlled vocabularies to describe datasets. This is a good example of practical knowledge organization, enabling interoperability and mutual understanding across domains.

I recommend Fred Peabody's documentary "Digital Tsunami" on the dangers of the ongoing digitization of reality, including social media and artificial intelligence (until 2026-01-19).

Unfortunately, it is not an optimistic vision.

Interesting critique of preregistration by Luke Conway. It raises points worth considering beyond psychology. Worth reading and thinking about critically.

#OpenScience #Preregistration
"I’m actually biased in favor of the intuitive value of preregistration; but things that seem intuitively sensible can turn out to be wrong anyway. Increasingly, I’m wondering if this is one of those things."
Preregistration Isn’t the Chief Executive of Science, It’s a Small Part of the Quality Control Department
And I'm Beginnning to Think It Should Be Fired for Poor Performance

If an #AI is told to follow a certain academic paradigm, will it rate papers differently? 🤔 A study by @mikethelwall.bsky.social et al. shows: yes. Across 8 paradigm pairs and 1,490 papers, #ChatGPT scored lower when opposed, quietly penalizing ideas outside its frame. arxiv.org/abs/2510.22426
